Top tips for renting a car at Kona Intl airport
- A car rental at Kona Intl Airport is convenient because it is so close to the airport. The Kona Intl Airport car rental center offers competitive rates and they have a wide selection of cars in their fleets, such as economy, minivans, trucks and SUVs, which are available for 4h, daily or weekly rates. They have no hidden fees, such as airport surcharges or mandatory insurance, which are often added to other car rentals.
- The Kona Intl Airport car rental center is open 24h a day and they offer free shuttle service to the airport from their offices, which are located on Alii Drive. Auto return is also available for an additional fee per rental as well as long-term parking at the airport, usually billed per day. There is no charge for parking your vehicle here, and it's just as convenient as any other location in downtown Kona.
- When you are through and need to return your vehicle, you are not required to do anything more than return it to the car rental agency’s location, and someone will take care of the rest. Just ensure that your keys are returned to the dropbox located in the lobby. You can easily access the car rental center by taking Palani Road or Alii Drive. The rental company's terms of agreement are outlined in detail before you sign off on them so there will be no surprises later. It is imperative that you read these carefully because they will outline everything from price adjustments for late returns to the excess and deductible on your liability protection.
- The best time to pick up your car from the Kona Intl Airport car rental center is when you land at the airport because it will take approximately 20min to get there. During the weekends, it can take around 30min because of the heavy traffic. The Kona Intl Airport car rental center is open until about midnight every day, and they will accept late returns with an additional fee after this time for vehicles that are rented at weekly rates only.
- Book your rental car at Kona Intl airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
Staff was friendly, very clear about the pickup and dropoff process, even though I didn't pick up my car from Enterprise (per instructions from the rental agency)Cons:
I wish they'd had the car I'd reserved ready. Originally they tried pushing a crossover on me and even the car I got was not the one I reserved. Given how expensive gas is in Hawaii, I reserved a compact on purpose, and was disappointed to not receive one.10.0 Wonderful

Staff was friendly and helpful. We were having to wait a long time while they cleaned a recent return that was supposed to be ours so they just gave us a larger SUV that was already cleaned and ready to go at no additional cost.8.0 Very good

Mark, May 2021
Pros:
Very easy pick up and return.Cons:
The key fob to our Jeep ran out of batteries on the 2nd day. As a result, had to get the car towed and exchange the car. While that process was fairly smooth, it effectively blew the entire morning. At the counter, the agent told me that the Jeep's key batteries commonly run out after 4 months. He also told us the trick on how to get the Jeep started again. Had we known, it would have saved the hassle of the tow.6.0 Okay

Melissa, Apr 2021
Pros:
The staff was so nice and friendly. I had to wait about 5 minutes before I spoke to an agent which was fine. Then we had about a 8 minute wait till the car arrived. It was clean and good for us.Cons:
I’m not sure I agree with the “film the car as insurance that you got it in this condition”. In Maui I had a real person with a different company and I like that more.8.0 Very good
